Internship: Neville Public Museum

This blog will act as my means to record my experiences at the Neville Public Museum. I will be working as an Intern there from January until May of 2008 to satisfy my requirments through the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay as well as my own academic development as this will allow me to work outside of the classroom. I will post a brief summary of my activities after each day of work and use this to reflect on my experiences.

I am finishing my fourth year at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay. I will be graduating this Spring with a B.A. in History. I plan on attending Graduate School shortly thereafter. I am currently working on a research project which examines the evolution of America's "beer culture" over the last 30 years.

Day 1

Baptism by fire indeed. Trevor was right when he said it would be a busy day. The day mostly consisted of the teardown and removal of the Prange exhibit. This was largely Christmas themed and showcased many motorized christmas-like dolls. They also offered "Bruce the Spruce" which was apparently an attraction done at all Prange stores a while back and it was a large false Christmas tree where someone would sit inside and talk to little kids giving the illusion that the tree was speaking to them. I am glad that I was the one to remove it and not be the one to sit inside it.

Everything else went smoothly. It was nice to keep busy all day as it made the time go by faster. The guys I was working with today were a lot of fun and it was nice to be surrounded by people who knew so much about what needed to be done. I didn't really feel out of place and everyone was very relaxed.
